INTERVIEW WITH DONNY OSMOND
In February this year Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh gave birth to baby boy Archie at just 21 weeks and five days. Sadly he died after a few moments of life.
There are over 50 000 babies born prematurely each year in the UK, one of the highest rates in Europe. The numbers are still rising, yet there is currently no accurate screening test available to identify women at risk. Prematurity is the greatest cause of infant death in Britain.
It’s the final episode of the series and Maltravers has to face the consequences of his actions as Lord Ravensbury comes back to clear up the matter of Maltravers’ murder of the Envoy.
Lord Ravensbury checks in with the Project to discover the verdict of Maltravers’ fate and he reveals he is deemed more important to them alive than dead.
One of the most popular holiday destinations for sun seekers, Spain is where the British feel comfortable; it’s like visiting an old friend. But, in Digging Up The Dead, Michael Portillo looks beyond the familiar vision of Spain to reveal a nation in trauma.

David Tennant has signed on to host a Doctor Who themed Christmas special of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
The Sun reports that the outgoing Doctor will present the show on December 16th with guests including Catherine Tate and Bernard Cribbins.
Russell Brand has admitted that he will cutting his hair off to advance his movie career.
Brand told PA: “I can’t keep always playing long-haired, scruffy men, otherwise my career would be limited.
“I was hoping one day to play Napoleon, but I can’t play Napoleon as this shaggy-haired, bearded raconteur.”
Michael Perham, the ‘Schoolboy’ of the title, did a remarkable thing; at the age of just 16, he sailed 30,000 miles all by himself. Most 16 year old boys can’t be left in the familiar waters of their own home at 16 without some catastrophe happening.
But while most lads his age are still trying to work out how a washer works – and failing – and can’t get out of bed before the crack of lunchtime, Michael became one of very exclusive group of just 200 people who mastered all the technology and sailing wizardry necessary to go around the world single-handed.
He endured 15 metre waves, winds in excess of 55 knots – not that I know what a ‘knot’ equates to, but I’m guessing it’s pretty windy – and his autopilot conking out with regular monotony. He ended up dealing with it all like a seasoned sea-salt, but there were some tears and panic along the way, and understandably and justifiably so. I suspect if Michael had been cockily over confident, things might not have had such a happy ending. Read more & comment »
I got the distinct impression during this show last night that someone in the commissioning unit at the BBC might have been ploughing through a whole mailbag full of programme suggestions and, in despair of ever finding anything by his/her deadline, decided this idea about revisiting ex-University Challenge winners would do.
It’s not that it was totally un-entertaining; there were many amusing moments, but I just kept coming back to the question of, why? It could probably have worked on winners from any popular game show from way-back-when, such as Sale of the Century. Actually, it would’ve been quite interesting to see if Jean from Cheshire ended up keeping hold of her canteen of cutlery or vacuum cleaner.
I guess the one thing that gave this show any relevance at all is that everyone on it was of superior intellect, and in that regard, it was quite interesting to note that having a super computer for a brain doesn’t necessarily mean you’re automatically going to qualify for a life less ordinary.
